 Topic: B rear cultivator?
Posted: 12 Oct 2011 at 7:59pm |
Is this a B rear cultivator (field cultivator)? If so, does anyone have a better photo of one, or a manual for it? I think this is what we have on the farm, but Grandpa had farmer-modified it quite a bit.

Murph, the square bar looks just like the one we have for the rear of the C. It has what looks like the two brackets that are welded to the tube with two holes to bolt to the rear lift arms on a C with 80 series hydraulics. I would guess that the two outside arms sticking up on this one went to the holes where the drawbar mounted on the finals, and the middle arm went to the center link on the rockshaft on a B.
We have a field cultivator for the C, but it mounts just like the rear bar that goes with the cultivators. We hardly use the field cultivator. The rear bar for the 80 series cultivator has three long shanked trip feet with shovels mounted so that it fills in the tire tracks. Also very handy for laying off rows, because we didn't use a mounted planter. Usually dropped seed by hand, then reversed the front gang sweeps to throw dirt to the row and cover the seed.
Sorry for the ramble. Looks like it should work on a B. Might even work on a C, depending on the width of the two out side brackets.

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

I was thinking the rear field cultivator had a solid square bar, not the square tubing like a crop cultivator rear bar, anyway, that is what our field cultivator had on it.

The CA coil shank field cultivator has the solid bar like you describe.

We had one of these when I was a boy. We used it to pull what in the South we called joint grass. Some call it Bermuda grass but Bermuda grass has some benefits. Joint grass was just a nuisance. Ours had a spoked steel depth wheel on it. When the block cracked in our B, my dad bought a used 8N Ford and it was modified with a 3 point hitch.
